Archaeology

The Master's Degree in Archaeology provides students with in-depth, internationally comparable knowledge in various archaeological sub-disciplines, methods and theories. Through critical analysis of published data and interpretations, as well as through practical work in field and laboratory data collection, processing of results, and examination of artefacts, students are enabled to conduct independent research and perform higher-level professional tasks.
Practical training and project assignments integrated into various courses prepare students for independent research and fieldwork. The aim of the master's degree is to prepare students for higher-level professional employment in museums, heritage protection institutions, and other public and private companies that provide archaeological services in the areas of culture, heritage protection, education, tourism, and spatial planning.
Upon completion of the degree, students are qualified to discover, record, protect, evaluate, present and promote (archaeological) cultural heritage, conduct independent archaeological research, collaborate across disciplines and work in the field of spatial planning.
The master's degree provides a foundation for further study and research at the doctoral level.
